SELF: You are a Masterpiece
How do masterpiece created?
Child
You are an empty vessel. You were born with the fact the you have never given a choice if you wanted it or not. You are a blessing for them, but you know nothing how valuable your existence is.
Name
You were given something to identify you. A thing you have no control with. You were born and someone already took over the most important part of you.
Dream
The moment they held you in their arms, future flashes right into their eyes. Some already anticipated what you will be and some are happy just by looking at. What do they see?
Age
As you grow older, they will realize that the once pleasant sight became today's headache. You started to realize what you want for yourself which sometimes againsts the blueprint that was made to be you. You want something they don't think is worth it. They can't accept it, so they call you a rebel.
Rebellion
The time where you taught what you want was right. So you did everything to have it. One night, a heavy slapped welcomed you. They wanted you to understand that you are still a puppet on a string. You have to follow them, until they know you are ready to be set free.
You see it differently. Now, you hated the hands of once you seek security from. You think they only wanted to keep you in the prison of their rules but soon you will realize what they really meant by "not yet".
Freedom
From the day you decided that your life should only written by you, you escapes the place you think was a prison to conceal your dreams. You lived happily. You can now do whatever you want. Be as bad as what you taught was right since it makes you happy. The dreams created for you is slowly shattering without your knowledge. The only right thing in this world is for you to happy. Now that you have it, why do you look sad?
Alone
Having freedom is far different from being alone. One night you came home and heard a deafening silence. It felt incomplete. You lay down at your bed where you find your comfort, but why are you trying to grasps something midair? Why are you missing the "no's and don'ts" that restricts you to be happy.
Friends
The people whom they wanted you to avoid but you didn't as they brings you joy. The friends that brought you freedom you longed. Are they really your friends? Why now that you need someone to pick you up from drowning, no one was there to save you? As soon as you find what you want is not really what they gave, why does they left you behind? Don't friends go through different phases together?
You still try to fit into their worlds but they seemed distant. They slipped the moment that what you can only offer are tears and loyalty. They only want happiness, something you also crave. But why are they not here?
Love
Someone offered a feeling you never felt. You are floating and it seemed like a fairy tale. A happy ever after you were looking all along. All are rainbows and butterflies but why does the color slowly fades? A once colorful fairy tale started to turn dark until all was left is you feeling blue.
Reset
Seemed like happiness was not meant for you. As soon as you realized that, you want nothing but be locked again to the prison you escaped. You tried going back. Why does a sight of your past excites you? Why do you expect happiness was inside that place you called a prison?
With a pounding heart, you knocked. The door opened showing a woman that looked familiar. When did that woman face becomes so angelic? The last memory you had with her was a firm image that wanted you to follow their rules. You're thought was interrupted when a man walked closer. When does his once muscle built body became wrinkled?
A warm feeling covers you as they softly sobbed. Without you realizing tears stream down your face. The feeling you longed to have, the happiness you once wanted, it was all in here.
Scars
You are scarred by your past you wish you never had. "You are now on the right age to know what you will do is right or wrong". They wanted you to listen before because they knew that your eyes are blinded by what you only want. "It's not bad to dream in getting what seemed to be fun, but our role is guide you until we knew you are ready", you never taught of these before. When they said "not yet", they don't want you to do wrong decisions, but now you are scarred by your past. "It's a lesson you have that will make you better".
Masterpiece
Your scars are art. An art created by yourself through pain, regrets, rejections and realizations. One mistake will not define you for the rest of your life. You were bruised but not destroyed. Let it serve as a learning that will create a priceless masterpiece. Self, you are a masterpiece.
